Darius smiled softly. "Why don't you first tell the appraised price and we'll see what to do?"
Kilobar observed Darius and sighed. He was an appraiser and one thing they required first and foremost was the ability to observe. Only a truly observant person could beco a highly qualified appraiser.
Kilobar understood from Darius' deanor and tone that the fellow must already be aware of the true value of these items, so he was able to remain utterly unmoved.
Unless he had already appraised them elsewhere, in which case he would have simply presented the certified appraisal, Darius must be aware of the production of these things... or even more shocking, he had made them himself!
This made Kilobar cautious as he didn't know who exactly this talented young Adept was and who stood behind him, so he had to absolutely tread carefully. It didn't matter that he was currently in Elysium's City of Divinity or if he had been on any other continent or city, power was power.
He wasn't foolish enough to swallow the rubbish the Gods fed that all n were equal. If an Adept lost their temper today and went on a slaughter, countless civilians would die before a God's Avatar could even begin to descend.
Once soone's life was lost, there was no getting it back. As such, Kilobar always shook his head when he saw certain citizens talk to various awakened fellows like they were equals.
But that was his own philosophy anyway. Focusing on the matter at hand, Kilobar picked up the Short Warp scrolls and held them up.
"These teleportation scrolls can carry up to 5 people anywhere between a minimum distance of 20 to 25 kiloters. As far as I can tell, its quality has reached perfection, aning that there would be no delay, no spatial interference, and especially no spatial backlash."
The clerk who heard this shivered. The effects of this were too shocking, as most scrolls of such a nature had many side effects and problems that could even lead to death.
Darius was really lucky he had the benefit of Transmutation and the System Targeting. Without them, his antics of doing blink-leap or repeated teleportation would not be so pleasant.
If it was so simple to use scrolls to warp about all over the place, why would the rich bother to travel in carriages? Just buy a bunch of Warp scrolls and use them.
It wasn't like such items were scarce or hard to get. Even in Listo, Darius could have easily bought a few if he wanted to. However, he had not seen the need with his ability in play.
A wise move.
"Unfortunately, the longest distance scrolls of this tier can take a person is known to be 5 kiloters. Since yours is practically 5 tis that, the base value climbs by a factor of five. Adding on the other features, the value is further multiplied by a factor of 6.9 tis according to the valuation guideline of our Appraisers Guild."
Kilobar continued. "The base value of a 5km scroll is 30 Dius. Multiplied by 5 makes your scrolls value based on length 150 Dius. With the multiplication for the various factors at 6.9, the final value of your item is 1,035 Dius."
Despite the horrifying number he just quote, Kilobar went on. "If you sell them to us, we are willing to buy it 50% higher than this cost."
Darius simply maintained his soft smile and gestured for Kilobar to continue. The C-Rank appraiser took a deep breath before doing just that.
He held up the Scrolls of Awakening next. "These Scrolls of Awakening are used to awaken magic in a target. They are of Fallon make, ant for the awakening of mana and elental talent, but can be used across all continents power sub-systems."
This revelation did not surprise Darius, but it horrified the clerk. It was sothing Darius had learned from one of the books, whose title he had managed to correctly guess, explain that each continent of Faust - apart from being severely isolated and having different cultures/origins - had unique sub-systems of the general laws of power in Faust.
For example, the Pan continent with Immortals used Qi instead of Mana for those who Awakened and use Internal Force with unique abilities for those who Sparked and called them Martial Artists.
Houto also had a system called Ki for its Awakened who were either called Exorcists or Sorcerers depending on their moral alignnt, and a strange energy called Prana for those who Sparked and beca either Samurai, Ninja, or Warriors.
Each system was still using the sa general elents, like the Amateur --> Grandmaster stages and Life Level, which could also be called Cultivation level or Power level on other continents, and a general source of energy to power their skills/spells, whether it was the typical mana, Qi or whatever else.
However, because of these divisions, what worked in one area would not work on another unless it was specifically factored in. As the highest possible quality product of the sa thing, Darius' scrolls and potions did not have this limitation, which was a huge deal.
"Also, these scrolls allow a person to perfectly awaken with any five elents or principles of their choice within each system. There is no chance of failure upon usage, and the elents can be of any grade, including the illusive Order and Chaos."
Kilobar smacked his lips. "To be honest, I am almost terrified by the utility of this item and would very much not like to value it, but my job demands it."
"A basic scroll like this that can awaken soone within the Elysium system and grant a person Faith energy to begin their journey as a priest or divine receptacle is valued at 300 Dius, and that is for only one random elent. Those that can give specific elents to the Faith energy are worth 600 Dius."
"Those that give out more than one elent have their value increased by the number of total elents they grant, in your case it would be a factor of 5. Then, for other factors like the perfect awakening chance, the cross-continental utility, the option of totally free choice, and the array of all known elents to choose from is, by the valuation guideline of the Appraisers Guild, multiplies it by a factor of 23.6."
"The base value is 600 Dius, multiplied by 5 is 3,000 Dius, further multiplied by 23.6 gives you a final price of 70,800 Dius."
